yea , no info yet really. I would expect it to fall in line with ultra books. Most likely a bit better power than a similar ultra book.
The surface pro will most likely have 6-8 hours of battery. 8 or so surfing the web , 6 for video playback and most likely 4 for gaming.

Bleh, I hope someone releases at a minimum a 16:10 slate and even better would be a 4:3 slate for my use. I absolutely hate the 16:9 form factor of my current slate.

All the resolutions appear to be the same, with a few exceptions here and there.
That is pretty much the situation with Windows laptops.
What makes you say that? A 2012 MacBook Air (Intel HD 4000) is able to drive several Thunderbolt displays just fine in addition to the internal screen (2560x1440 *2 + 1366x768). Just don't expect to game on it.

Please explain.

Eh? Resolution has nothing to do with the screen ratio.
I'd be eminently happy with a 1600x1200 slate. Less resolution than a 1080p slate but a far more useable screen ratio for actual work.
Hell, I'd prefer 1680x1050 (16:10) over 1920x1080 (16:9).
1920x1200 versus 1600x1200? I'd take the 1600x1200 everytime for a slate device. And I'd certainly take both of those before a 1080p device.
My covertable tablet (laptop with a swivel screen) is a 4:3 1024x768 is great. But the 768is just too narrow when in portrait orientation for anything useful.
I'm just waiting for one of the OEMs to eventually offer one.
Media consumption is secondary to me for a slate device. Ability to actually do work combined with portability comes first. Media consumption second.

Haswell ULV isn't in March. It's said to be in Q3, so that makes it 6-8 months away from Surface launch. And Q4 is the launch schedule for touch-enabled refresh on Ultrabooks. Yes, Surface is later than expected, but that's more likely due to MS taking time(doing whatever needed).
My understanding is that it's Haswell ULV TDP that is 15W.
Indeed, the others are 37, 47, 57W TDP for mobile Haswell.
Where did you read that ?
Latest info puts Haswell in Q2
Also haswell will have a 10W TDP on the ULV
http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/5/3293617/intel-haswell-10-watt-tdp-idf-2012
We will apparently find out more on the 11th through 13th
They claim at least one version among the ULV variants will be 10W
As you say, we'll have to wait one more week to get more information, but I guess the GPU will be severely castrated and the frequency rather low.Disappointed?
AMZN reached an all time high as they were doing their briefing.
We'll have to wait for reviews and see what their sales look like, especially after Xmas.
I think Apple may have a hard time if they come out with the rumored iPad Mini at anything over $250 for a 7.85 inch, 1024x768, 16 GB tablet.
